Manhattan Island Swim · 21 June 2004

Starfish Greathearts Foundations supports children who have been orphaned or made vulnerable by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Southern Africa. Starfish believes in bringing life, hope and opportunity to these children…helping each child, one child at a time.

Story

As most of you will know we (Scotty & Rosie) have been pretty focussed (diving into the Serptentine at 5.30am during the week, freezing our backsides off at the weekends down in Dover and single!) on getting ready to swim round Manhattan on 3rd July. This is a non-stop swim with no wetsuit and should take a little less than 10 hours. Neither of us have done anything remotely close to this - needless to say if we finish you won't hear the end of it.

It's a big ask on our part and a small ask for you to donate to Starfish. Starfish supports South African children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS by providing food, support with school fees and uniforms, counselling, day care centres, sports programmes, survival food gardening and skills training.

Dig deep; we'll have to
Thanks

James Scott & Mark Rosenberg
